Kalinda/Alicia: 4 times Alicia didn`t see Kalinda`s devotion, and 1 time she did

This is a canon pompt! XP

teamsharma July 31 2013, 19:26:43 UTC

Demoka is right - this is a canon prompt :). I'm not very good at writing Kalicia canon (it just makes me sad) and so I tried something different, and I really hope you won't be angry with me, bepatientimadoc. The Ficathon is still running, so you might get your story eventually ( ... )

I just.... And then you... and then... This... and... Uhh Yeah so I think it will take several hours after watching this to stop shaking and start forming coherent thoughts again. Its SO SO SO beautiful. I just wanted to come and tell you, YOU WOMAN YOU, that you are silly if you think this -THIS- would be a disappointment for me... I love it, I love the music... Its SO beautiful! Thank you so much

Thank you for your kind response, bepatientimadoc! I really thought I shouldn't tell anybody about this and only uploaded it because I thought that this Ficathon is also a place for experiments. But your nice reaction encouraged me to post the video on AO3 (of course I dedicated it to you), because this is, after all, my attempt to work on your prompt :). Thank you!

I am going through very methodically R&R'ing fics, but I just watched this and wanted to say while it's fresh that this is a gorgeous, 8 minute primer teaching us how the storyline was methodically leading to an epic love reveal -- EVERYTHING was pointing that direction -- and it has made me A. love you and B. have renewed wtfery at everyone involved in the dropped Kalicia storyline. I have obviously not made peace with this as much as I thought, as I spent the entire time jabbing at the screen going THERE, THERE IS THE EPIC LOVE, HOW AND WHY ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH ARE YOU TRYING TO BURY THIS.

So the severity of my feelings obviously means that you did an excellent job constructing this vid. It's really beautiful -- I love how you show how much of their relationship, even some of the most meaningful moments, was really a thing without words. <3

Oh, thank you, sweetjamielee! It's so good to know that I'm not the only one who feels this way. Sometimes I think that they stopped the storyline dead in its tracks because it became TOO strong and overwhelmed them. Like Archie said, the characters have a life on their own and maybe TPTB didn't expect things to evolve like this. I can totally see somebody from CBS, or maybe RK or JM, suddenly waking up in the middle of the night, realizing that what they created wasn't what they head in mind and furthermore totally pushes the boundaries of network TV. So they immediately start to fix the problem on the next day. But how can you fix something that is already this huge? Well, if you pretend that it never happened maybe you can fool the audience.

Really have something short to say:

A cannon prompt deserves a string of evidence from cannon.

TeamSharma, that was beyond words! It was beautiful, so wonderful. Your choice of music was perfection.

I am at a loss for words, really at a loss for words --- in the most positively, wonderful way.

teamsharma August 1 2013, 19:08:04 UTC

Thank you so much, piadu, for your nice words. I really didn't expect this and honestly, it made my day. I worked on this clip two days and two nights (on my last two vacation days) and was so exhausted in the end that I just wanted to upload it and take cover under the carpet. Now I'm glad I've uploaded it. Thank you!

piadu August 2 2013, 18:23:51 UTC

That's a real labor of Kalicia love, that is :) you made a lot of people happy with this. (With me heading the list!)

ll10e6 July 31 2013, 21:08:02 UTC

Simply put, this is beautiful. Thank you so much.

I also think that this counts as something big towards the "JM reads fanfic and becomes a shipper" prompt, as the response to that prompt is that she is sent a link to these 8 minutes, and after that it's a done deal.

Gah. The two of them, heartbreaking.

teamsharma August 1 2013, 19:12:17 UTC

Thank you, ll10e6, for taking the time to watch and comment! Yes, they don't only break each others hearts, they break ours as well. And what breaks my heart even more is the way the handled the storyline (and how they're handling - or don't handling - it now). This is definitely the most heartbreaking part. How can you let something this beautiful die? That's not only stupid, that's cruel.

I don't know why on earth the link doesn't work, I don't have any comments listed as suspicious to unspam. :( So I will put the link here for easy clickability!

Oh, thank you sweetjamielee! I was hoping that the link would work when you do it :).

demoka August 12 2013, 12:08:32 UTC

That's was beautiful, thanks for sharing! S'not boring, you just got to be in the right mood to watch and appreciate it!
